    DADS DONUTS FTW! i love dad’s, it’s literally the best and we go there often! i highly recommend buying desserts there because it is freshly made and it’s a family owned buisness. thank you for supporting them!

    I grew up surfing Newport Beach. I traveled by public bus from Orange. As a kid I thought we lived 2 hours from the ocean. Now I live on Long Island NY. Going on 35 years. Thanks for the memories good video.

    Great video! However, the English teacher in me has to comment that dessert has 2 s’s, because you can eat 2 scoops for dessert. Eating a local desert sounds dry, lol. 😉
    Thank you for sharing your tips! We hope to do this in June.

      Thanks for the spelling correction! I'll remember how to spell dessert correctly now! :)

    Great tour of the island, except when they discuss the ferry. They are standing in front of it so you never get a good look at it. It actually has a unique form about it since it's been around so long. Otherwise, great presentation. It took me back to my younger years when my Mom managed the dining room at the Village Inn.

    Lol! It’s funny they said dads. I live on the island and the best one is the original one that opened in 1945 selling the frozen banana and the balboa bar. Dads opened in the 60s as a bakery. The original place is called sugar n spice and honestly it’s better! Dads is famous for their hippo cookies but not the bananas or bars. They also pre dip them and sugar n spice has everything made from scratch!

    • @comfeefort
      @comfeefort 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Right! They only say that, because, They all have no life, wake up at 4 a.m. and wonder around like Zombies untill DADS opens early. They hang there Coffee cups above the door. "Sugar and Spice" always kept regular hours and never sold nasty greasy doughnuts....PUKE!

    • @kaitlinsophie1834
      @kaitlinsophie1834 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      dad’s donuts is wayy better. it’s impossible to pre-dip because you need to dip it right before it dries and you put toppings. check your facts before you post. also, the people at dad’s probably work harder than all of your family combined. they’re very sweet, kind, and care about their customers.
